^xHE   various    collegiate    libraries    in    Cambridge    contain    many 
f  valuable  manuscripts   and   books  that   are  unknown  to  the 

majority  of  Orientalists,  more  especially  to  foreign  scliolars.  In  par- 
ticular is  this  the  case  with  students  of  Hebraica  and  Judaica.,  for  in 
the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries  scarcely  a  Hebrew  book 
appeared  that  was  not  purchased  by  the  college  librarians.  Not  only 
are  these  books  almost  unknown,  but  foreign  scholars  who  visit 
England  and  make  a  half  day's  excursion  to  Cambridge  too  often  find 
their  journey  in  vain,  because  the  faA'ourite  period  that  they  select  is 
when  the  Long  Vacation  Term  has  come  to  an  end. 

College  catalogues  of  course  exist,  but  separate  lists  of  Hebraica 
and  Orientalia  are  necessary,  even  if  the  present  catalogues  are  not  out 
of  print. 

It  was  therefore  my  intention  to  publish  a  series  of  pamphlets, 
one  for  each  college,  giving  details  and  furnishing  a  catalogue  of  the 
contents  of  the  shelves,  and  in  this  work  I  had  made  some  progress, 
but  had  met  with  no  little  difficulty  in  selection.  My  idea  at  first  was, 
in  the  case  of  books  to  give  the  briefest  possible  note,  with  a  reference 
to  Steinschneider  or  the  British  Museum  Catalogue,  and  in  the  case  of 
MSS.  to  follow  the  plan  of  Dr.  Hirschfeld  in  the  Jews'  College 
Catalogue.  But  the  difficulty  that  presented  itself  was  with  printed 
books  ;  what  limit  of  time  or  subject  should  I  set  myself  1  On  the 
one  hand  a  catalogue  to  be  of  use  must  be  complete,  no  one  can 
-oresee  the  needs  of  others.     For  example,  under  Judaica  I  shotdd

certainly  include  Polemics  and  Sermons  of  the  Carolean  period,  as 
illustrating  public  opinion  at  the  time  of  the  return  of  the  Jews.  On 
the  other  hand,  it  would  be  manifestly  absurd  to  mention  the  innumer- 
able Hebrew  Grammars  that  are  antiquated  but  not  antique — it  was 
not  easy  to  come  to  a  decision, 

I  was  working  at  St.  Catherine's  Library  and  had  nearly 
finished  my  task  when  Miss  Frere's  munificent  bequest  reached  Girton» 
and  the  present  catalogue  of  that  collection,  which  it  has  given  me 
great  pleasure  to  make,  was  free  from  the  above-mentioned  difficulties 
of  my  former  task. 

In  the  case  of  a  bequest,  which  inevitably  contains  books  of 
different  values,  no  discrimination  in  a  catalogue  is  possible.  When 
dealing  with  the  "  Mary  Frere  Hebrew  Library,"  which  embodies  the 
labours  of  piety  and  patient  collection,  there  was  almost  invariably 
some  personal  or  other  touch  that  invested  every  volume  with  interest. 

Miss  Frere  loved  her  books  and  gathered  them  for  a  specific 
purpose,  to  form  the  nucleus  of  a  library  to  be  a  help  and  inspiration 
for  students  who  wanted  to  gain  a  true  knowledge  of  Holy  Writ. 

It  is  no  exaggeration  to  say  that  the  Samaritan  volumes  will  be 
invaluable  to  those  who  wish  to  study  the  customs  of  the  "  foolish 
people  that  live  in  Shechem."  In  particular  the  Historical  Manu- 
scripts will  be  found  to  be  important,  and  I  lay  great  stress  on  the 
notes  and  jottings  in  Miss  Frere's  own  hand,  all  of  which  I  have  most 
carefully  preserved,  giving  exact  details  of  the  history  of  each  book 
and  its  acquisition.  Among  these  are  some  touching  on  the  Book 
of  Joshua  controversy,  for  Miss  Frere  was  in  Nablus  at  the  time 
when  that  discussion  took  place  and  but  a  short  while  after  the  texts 
were  copied  for  Dr.  Gaster.  I  refer  inter  alia  to  MSS.  15,  16 
and  41. 

Miss  Frere  hoped  that  this  collection  would  stimulate  a  desire 
among  Girton  students  to  learn  Hebrew,  and  in  order  to  facilitate  this 


PREFACE.  III. 

wish  I  have  given  very  full  explanations  of  the  beautifully  illuminated 
Kethubboth  which  hang  in  frames  on  the  walls  of  the  Library,  par- 
ticulars useless  to  the  scholar,  but  perhaps  not  entirely  devoid  of 
helpfulness  to  the  beginner. 

My  own  part  has  been  prompted  by  a  desire  to  share,  in  a  small 
way,  in  the  nisc  and  moreover  to  perpetuate  the  memory  of  a  saintly 
lady  who  devoted  her  life  to  good  works. 

Unfortunately,  at  the  outset  I  moved  to  Oxford  and  have  only 
been  able  to  spare  three  or  four  afternoons  to  visit  Girton,  and  to  this 
reason  the  evidences  of  haste  in  my  work  are  due. 

Then  War  broke  out,  and  while  these  pages  are  passing  through 
the  press  my  Kegiment  has  been  ordered  to  India.  As  far  as  I  was 
personally  concerned  prudence  would  have  urged  me  to  postpone 
publication  until  my  return.  But  I  feared  lest  this  hand  list  might 
share  the  fate  of  its  two  still-born  brothers,  one  being  a  hand  list  of 
the  University  Library  MSS.  and  the  other  of  the  Aldis  Wright 
Collection  in  Trinity ;  both  of  these  have  passed  the  limits  laid  down 
by  Horace  for  decent  obscurity  in  the  desk.  Moreover,  by  the  terms 
of  the  bequest  a  catalogue  was  to  be  not  only  made  but  printed  as  soon 
as  possible.  Here  Miss  Frere's  sister  kindly  came  to  my  aid,  and 
consented  to  see  these  pages  through  the  press.  To  her,  as  to  Miss 
Cochran  and  Miss  Scott,  the  past  and  present  Librarians  of  Girton, 
whose  kindness  has  laid  me  under  many  a  debt,  I  offer  my  best 
thanks.

MARY    FRERE 

1882 


BIOGRAPHICAL    NOTICE 


/£"0  the  Catalogue  of  the  Hebrew  Library  bequeathed  by  my  sister 
J  Mary  Frere  to  Girton  College,  which  has  been  drawn  up  and 
annotated  by  Mr.  Herbert  Loewe  with  so  much  ability  and  scholarship 
it  seems  fitting  that  some  few  words  should  be  added  regarding  the 
personality  of  the  collector  of  these  books,  and  the  circumstances 
under  which  they,  in  particular  the  Samaritan  portion,  were  acquired. 
I  gladly  accede  therefore  to  the  request  made  to  me  by  the 
Librarian  of  the  College,  to  furnish  such  notes  regarding  one  whose 
rare  inspiring  qualities  reached  beyond  her  own  family  to  very  many 
with  whom  she  came  in  contact,  and  who  by  her  present  bequest  may 
hearten  generations  of  other  women  to  like  ideals. 

Mary  Eliza  Isabella  Frere  was  the  eldest  child  of  the  Rt.  Hon. 
Sir  Bartle  Frere  and  Catherine  his  wife,  second  daughter  of  Lt.  Gen. 
the  Et.  Hon.  Sir  George  Arthur. 

She  was  born,  11th  August,  1845,  atBitton  Kectory  in  Gloucester- 
shire, her  father's  old  home  and  at  that  time  the  house  of  his  widowed 
mother.  Our  parents  had  returned  to  England  shortly  after  their 
marriage,  which  took  place  in  Bombay  where  Sir  George  Arthur  was 
then  Governor,  and  my  father  was  on  his  first  leave  of  absence  after  ten 
years'  work  in  the  East  India  Company's  Service,  during  which  he 
had  clearly  shown  those  qualities  which  distinguished  his  future  career. 
From  her  earliest  childhood  May,  as  she  was  always  called,  gave 
promise  of  that  originality  of  mind,  that  eager  intellect  and  graceful 
fancy  which  marked  her  through  life.  In  the  schoolroom  she  learnt 
easily  and  worked  hard,  but  probably  owed  more  knowledge  to  her 


VI.  BIOGRAPHICAL    XOTICE 

passion  for  miscellaneous  reading  than  to  the  orthodox  sylhibus.  She 
was  a  devourer  of  books  and  had  collected  quite  a  good  library  of  her 
own  in  her  early  teens — physical  exercise  and  outdoor  pursuits  I 
think  never  greatly  appealed  to  her,  but  she  was  a  fearless  rider  and 
an  excellent  whip.  With  an  innate  love  of  beauty  and  possessed  of 
remarkably  skilful  hands,  she  drew  and  worked  well  and  might  have 
gone  far  in  either  line,  but  from  the  first,  and  to  the  last,  her  love  of 
literature  outweighed  all  other  personal  pleasures. 

At  eighteen  May  went  out  with  her  mother  to  India  for  three 
years,  her  father  being  then  Governor  of  Bombay,  and  wiiiie  there 
wrote  for  children  the  book  of  Hindoo  Fairy  Tales  "  Old  Deccau 
Days  "  by  which  her  literary  gift  is  best  known.* 

These  stories  were  told  to  her  in  mingled  Hindustani  and 
broken  English  by  her  Ayah,  Anna  Liberata  de  Souza  a  native 
Goanese  Christian,  to  lighten  the  tedium  of  a  severe  attack  of 
opthalmia.  Anna  had  been  accustomed  as  a  child  to  hear  them  from 
her  grandmother,  to  whom  they  had  descended  from  generations  of 
Hindu  "  Grannies,"  and  she  would  shut  her  eyes  and,  evidently  carrying 
her  mind  back  to  her  own  childhood,  would  repeat  the  stories 
as  she  sat  on  the  floor. 

Transcribed  by  Mary  Frere,  they  retain  in  excellent  and  simple 
English  the  form  and  spirit  of  the  native  original,  and  while  possessing 
a  singular  attraction  for  children  of  all  ages,  the  work,  at  that  time 
a  new  departure  in  Indian  folk  lore  literature,  has  always  ranked  high 
with  authorities  on  the  subject. 

A  year  after  the  publication  of  "  Old  Deccan  Days  "  she  wrote  a 
little  play  after  the  Elizabethan  manner,  "  Love's  Triumph."  Pub- 
lished anonymously  by  Pickering,  it  met  with  a  good  deal  of  favour- 
able criticism,  but  though  she  wrote  much  poetry  afcer,  she  was  too 
fastidious  a  critic  of  her  own  Avork  to  publish  more  books. 

*  "Old  Deccan  D:iys  or  Hindoo  Fairy  Lc^'enils  current  in  Southern  India,"  collected  from

BIOGRAPHICAL    NOTICE  vii. 

In  those  youthful  days  my  sister  took  great  delight  in  art  and 
poetry,  especially  in  the  drama,  and  many  old  friends  of  early  days 
can  remember  her  remarkable  rendering  on  the  amateur  stage  of 
Shakespeare's  heroines  of  tragedy,  notably  Katherine  of  Aiagon  and 
Constance. 

But  her  active  mind  ranged  over  a  wide  field  of  interests,  to 
which  the  circumstances  of  her  life  gave  her  access — public  affairs 
— literature — art — travel,  the  last  a  great  enjoyment  to  the  end. 

With  her  great  personal  charm  she  was  able  duringj  her  Mother's 
enforced  absence  in  England  for  some  months,  to  do  the  honours  of 
Government  House  in  Bombay  with  a  tact  and  power  singular  in 
so  young  a  girl.  This  was  greatly  owing  to  a  ver}'  human  interest  in 
her  fellow  creatures,  which  took  no  narrow  view  of  life  and  of  its 
possibilities  under  all  sorts  of  conditions,  and  she  enjoyed  the  oppor. 
tunities  of  meeting  Native  ladies  in  their  Zenanas  and  Missionary 
workers  at  their  Stations,  as  much  as  "  Society  "  in  its  more  usually 
accepted  sense. 

Long  after,  during  her  father's  administration  in  South  Africa,  the 
same  instincts  stood  her  in  good  stead.  In  many  a  Dutch  and  English 
Farm-house  and  Parsonage  in  Cape  Colony  is  still  remembered  her 
warm  interest  in  all  the  details  of  rural  life  there — in  the  beauty 
of  the  country,  its  flowers  and  wild  life — in  Native  Folk  Lore  and 
in  the  customs  and  traditions,  even  then  fast  vanishing,  of  the  various 
peoples  of  South  Africa. 

In  later  years,  after  our  return  to  England,  the  love  of  study,  and 
particularly  of  Scripture  study,  gradually  superseded  all  other  incli- 
nations, and  the  desire  to  read  the  Old  Testament  in  the  original  led 
her  to  give  much  of  her  time  to  learning  Hebrew. 

Regarding  that  wonderful  language,  its  depth  of  meaning  and  its 
immense  power  of  expression — she  formed  gradually  some  theories 
which  circumstances,  chiefly  the  handicap  of  delicate  health,  prevented 
her  following  out  to  any  completeness,  but  at  which  to  her  last  hour 
she  worked  with  unremitting  energy. 


vnr.  BIOGRAPHICAL     NOTICE. 

It  may  be  possible  some  day  perhaps  to  make  public  some  of  her 
notes  on  this  and  kindred  subjects,  or  at  least  some  of  the  treasures  of 
thought  that  she  gathered  from  the  study  of  the  Bible — but  it  is 
enough  here  to  say,  that  while  constant  study  led  her  to  go  more  and 
more  deeply  into  the  sources  of  the  Scriptures  and  to  explore  their 
hidden  depths  of  meaning,  she  had  not  the  slightest  sympathy  with  the 
destructive  tendency  of  so  much  of  the  Higher  Criticism  of  the  present 
da}'. 

At  this  time  she  added  to  a  library  she  had  been  cullecting  all 
her  life  most  of  those  books  which  now  form  the  Hebrew  Library 
bequest  to  Girton  College. 

The  Samaritan  M.SS,  were  amongst  her  last  acquisitions  and  their 
purchase  came  about  in  the  following  manner. 

At  the  end  of  1906  while  living  at  Cambridge,  an  invitation  from 
Mrs.  Theodore  Bent  to  accompany  her  to  Jerusalem  led  to  a  stay  in 
Palestine  for  a  year  and  a  half,  with  a  four  months  interval  spent  in 
Egypt,  and  great  was  the  delight  to  her  of  being  in  that  Land  so 
dear  from  its  halloAved  associations,  so  deeply  interesting  from  every 
point  of  view. 

In  March,  1908,  I  joined  her  at  Cairo,  and  three  weeks  later  we 
left  for  Northern  Palestine.  My  sister  had  not  yet  visited  that  part 
of  the  country  and  was  most  anxious  to  do  so.  We  landed  at  Beyrout 
and  after  thi-ee  weeks'  very  interesting  journey  via  Baalbek,  Damas- 
cus and  Tiberias,  reached  Nazareth,  where  we  spent  Sunday,  May 
10th.  After  a  two  day's  ride  from  there  across  the  plain  of  Esdraelon, 
by  Jenin,  Dothan  and  Samaria,  we  arrived  by  rough  and  stony  moun- 
tain paths  on  ]\Iay  12th  at  Nablus,  the  Roman  Neapolis,  the  ancient 
Hebrew  Shechem,  and  scene  of  some  of  the  most  striking  events  of 
Bible  History. 

Here  under  the  shadow  of  Mt.  Gerizim,  Abraham  raised  his  first 
Altar  in  the  Promised  Land,  to  the  God  by  faith  in  whose  Call  he  had 
left  his  home  in  Chaldea.     Close  to  the  same  spot  lies  the  well  of  Sychar 


BIOGRAPHICAL    NOTICE.  ix- 

■where  the  Divine  descendant  of  Abraham  taught  to  a  woman  of 
Samaritan  race  the  essential  of  religion:  "God  is  a  Spirit,  and  they 
who  worship  Him  must  worship  Him  in  spirit  and  in  truth." 

The  descendants  of  that  Samaritan  race,  now  a  tiny  dwindling 
sect,  still  inhabit  Xablus,  still  all  their  lives  centre  round  the  small 
Synagogue  reached  by  labyrinthine  ways  through  its  dark  and  tortuous 
streets — still  they  carry  out  the  Ritual  of  the  Law  and  still  they 
sacrifice  the  Passover  on  Gerizim  where  once  stood  the  Temple  of 
their  worship. 

My  sister,  -who  greatly  desired  to  see  something  of  this 
wonderful  survival  from  Old  Testament  days,  was  most  anxious  to 
visit  Nablus,  and  having  arrived,  to  stay  on  longer  than  at  first 
planned.  It  was,  however,  owing  to  the  illness — congestion  of  the 
lungs — which  overtook  her  there,  that  we  ended  by  spending  three 
months  in  one  of  the  most  beautiful  and,  from  association  with  both 
the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  most  deeply  interesting  spots  in 
Palestine. 

Approached,  as  we  approached  it,  from  the  west,  the  Vale  of 
Shechem  is  most  attractive.  Between  the  stately  crags  and  steep 
slopes  of  Ebal  and  Gerizim  lies  a  lovely,  green  valley'  narrowing  as  it 
slopes  upwards  to  its  eastern  end,  to  form  the  natural  theatre  whence 
Joshua  proclaimed  the  Law  to  the  assembled  tribes.  Fertilized  by  the 
abundant  springs  of  Gerizim  the  Mount  of  Blessing,  it  is  full  of 
gardens  and  orchards,  and  masses  of  trees  refresh  the  sigiit,  concealing 
from  the  lower  end  of  the  valley  the  considerable  town  which  crowns 
the  narrower  extremity — while  a  few  scattered  white  houses  add 
picturesqueness  to  the  landscape. 

Here  we  intended  to  spend  but  a  few  days,  and  our  first  visit  was 
to  the  Samaritan  Synagogue,  where  some  very  ancient  Scrolls  of 
the  Law  are  preserved,  and  are  shown  to  visitors  in  magnificent 
wrappings  of  velvet  and  brocade. 


X.  BIOGRAPHICAL    NOTICE. 

The  most  ancient  of  all,  declared  by  the  Samaritans  to  be  in  the 
actual  handwriting  of  Abishua,  the  great  grandson  of  Aaron,  is  said 
to  be  shown  only  as  the  greatest  favour  to  very  exceptional  visitors? 
but  at  the  instance  of  our  Dragoman  and  for  a  small  consideration  its 
wrapper  of  splendid  Venetian  brocade  was  removed,  and  the  outer  case 
of  chased  silver  shown  to  us  by  the  High  Priest. 

It  was  our  first  acquaintance  with  that  dignitary,  whose  stately 
figure  in  picturesque  oriental  robes  became  afterwards  a  familiar 
object  on  the  steps  or  in  the  court  of  our  hotel. 

The  190  men  of  the  small  community  of  Samaritans  now  living 
at  Nablus  are  almost  all  priests.  These  may  only  marry  in  the  priestly 
families  and  they  do  no  secular  work — hence  the  scope  of  their  energies 
is  considerably  narrowed. 

Besides  the  treasured  Scrolls  of  the  Law  in  the  Synagogue  they 
possess  various  MSS.  of  different  dates,  many  of  which,  chiefly  in 
curious  old  leather  bindings,  were  brought  for  us  to  see  later — some 
belonged  to  the  High  Priest,  and  others  to  various  of  his  relations. 

Since  the  value  of  these  books  was  first  discovered  by  scholars, 
the  Samaritans  have  parted  with  a  good  many — some  finding  their 
way  to  the  great  libraries  of  Europe  and  America  and  others  to  private 
collections.  They  have  also  found  it  profitable  to  sell  copies  of  their 
books,  and  most  of  the  younger  priests  occupy  themselves  in  this 
manner,  some  well,  some  ill,  according  to  the  education  and  the 
patience  of  the  scribe. 

There  is  not  a  little  jealousy  among  them  as  to  the  disposal  of 
their  books.  Everyone  who  has  a  book  to  sell  making  a  great 
mystery  of  its  })ossession,  bringing  it  with  great  secrecy,  sometimes 
waylaying  the  hoped  for  customer  on  the  road- — or  sending  a  message 
through  a  third  party. 

It  seemed  to  be  always  essential  that  none  of  their  relations  should 
know  of  these  negotiations,  and  each  tried  to  run  down  the  other's 
wares — nevertheless  we  could  not  but  fear  that  they  were  in  collusion 
with  each  other  and  about  to  share  the  profits. 


BIOGRAPHICAL    NOTICE.  xi. 

It  was  explained  to  lis  bj-  Izhak,  the  second  priest,  that  his  own 
father  having  been  High  Priest,  and  dying  when  he  was  himself  too 
young  to  assume  the  office,  his  elder  cousin  Jacob  ben  Aaron  was 
appointed  to  it  and  had  according  to  Izhak  thereby  got  possession  of 
a  library  which  Izhak  considered  to  have  been  his  father's  private 
propertj',  of  which  he  should  himself  have  been  the  legal  oAvner.  Jacob 
ben  Aaron  on  the  contrary  considered  that  the  library  was  attached  to 
the  High  Priesthood,  but  neitlier  seemed  to  admit  that  the  community 
as  a  whole  had  anything  to  sav  to  it.  The  situation  was,  to  say  the 
least,  complicated,  and  left  the  way  open  to  plenty  of  intrigue. 

Through  the  Rev.  Sidney  Webb  the  resident  C.  M.  S.  Missionary 
and  Dr.  Gaskoin  ^^'right  of  the  C.  M.  S.  Hos})ital,  who  were  both 
famibar  with  Arabic,  my  sister  was  able  to  acquire  several  of  these 
MS.  books  of  more  or  less  value  and  interest,  and  later  when  our  friend 
Dr.  Paul  Kahle,  lately  Pastor  of  the  German  Church  in  Cairo,  and 
about  to  take  up  the  Professorship  of  Philology  at  the  University  of 
Halle,  came  to  Nablus  for  several  days,  she  was  able  to  secure  some 
other  MSS.  of  whose  genuineness  Dr.  Kahle,  a  distinguished  Oriental 
scholar,  felt  certain. 

The  High  Priest  has  marked  with  his  seal  all  bought  from  him- 
self, in  token  that  they  arc  not  fakes  but  either  originals  or  certified 
genuine  copies. 

It  was  a  great  disappointment  to  my  sister  that,  falling  ill  at 
Nablus,  she  was  confined  to  her  room  nearly  all  the  time  we  spent 
there,  but  with  her  usual  energy  she  seized  every  possible 
opportunity  of  learning  all  she  could  both  about  place  and  people. 

At  length  we  were  able  to  undertake  the  journey  home,  and  one 
morning  early  in  August  we  looked  our  last  on  Nablus  and  started  on 
the  long  drive  down  to  Jaffa,  amid  the  farewells  of  our  friends  there, 
including  a  small  crowd  of  Samaritans,  who  with  their  High  Priest  had 
assembled  to  wish  us  God  specil. 

There  was  some  anxiety  as  to  whether  we  should  succeed  in 
taking  the  books  with  up,  Turkish  regulations  at    the  time    being 


XII.  BIOGRAPHICAL  NOTICE. 

rather  strict  as  to  anything  in  the  nature  of  an  antiquity  being 
allowed  to  leave  the  country — but  just  then  the  Revolution  took  place 
at  Constantinople  and  with  the  proclamation  of  the  new  Constitution 
which  occurred  during  our  few  day's  stay  at  Jaffa,  all  such  rules  were 
suspended  and  no  objection  made  to  our  box  of  books. 

Thus  the  Samaritan  MSS.  were  added  to  the  collection  of  books 
bearing  on  Hebrew  study,  which  at  my  sister's  desire  was  offered  to 
and  accepted  by  Girton  College  on  her  death  three  years  later,  26th 
March,  1911. 

That  this  Hebrew  Library  might  encourage  others  to  study  the 
Bible,  and  especially  the  Old  Testament,  in  the  original,  and  might 
thus  tend  to  the  glory  of  Him  to  Whose  praise  she  desired  to  devote 
all  the  powers  of  her  mind,  was  the  object  with  which  Mary  Frero 
formed  it  and  bequeathed  it. 

May  He  bless  it  to  that  end.

size  8;|  X  6  inches,  ff.  88,  paper,  bought  from  High  Priest

1 2.  KiTAB  al-Kafi,  Arabic  and  Samaritan  (composed  by  Yusuf 
ibn  Salama  in  1041)  size  9|  x  71  inches,  pp.  190,  paper, 
modern  copy,  bought  by  Dr.  Kahle  for  Miss  Frere  from  the 
Samaritan  High  Priest  at  I^ablus  in  July,  1908. 

13.  KiTAB  at-Tabbakh,  Arabic,  composed  by  Abu'l  Hassan  of

inches,  pp.  290,  paper,  modern  copy,  purchased  for  Miss  Frere 
by  Dr.  Kahle  from  Isaac  the  Samaritan  at  Nablus  in  1908. 
The  colophon  is  on  f.  290a.  The  MS.  was  completed  in  1326 
of  the  Hijra  (  =  a.d.  1908).  The  book  deals  largely  with 
Shechita  (method  of  killing  animals)  and  with  the  differ- 
ences between  Jews  and  Samaritans. 

14.  The  second  part  of  Kitab  al-Khilaf  ? ;  composed  by 
Munajja  ibn  C^^adaqa  in  the  twelfth  century,  on  the  differences 
between  the  Jews  and  Samaritans,  size  8|  by  6|,  pp.  257, 
paper,  modern  copy,  bought  by  Dr.  Kahle  for  Miss  Frere  at 
Nablus  from  Isaac  the  Samaritan  on  the^26th  of  July,  1908. 

15.  Historical  Matter  (Book  of  Joshua),  etc.,  Arabic  and 
Samaritan,  size  8f  x  6|  inches,  ff.  54,  paper,  bought  at  Nablus 
from  the  Samaritan  High  Priest  in  1908.  Folio  la,  bears  the 
following  note  in  Hebrew,  (Samaritan  characters) : — "  Book 
of  Joshua,  Arabic,  Jacob,  son  of  Aaron  the  Priest."  Folio 
la  contains,  in  two  columns,  an  Arabic  and  Samaritan 
chronicle.  The  first  line  corresponds  to  p.  420  of  Neubauer's 
Chronique  Samaritaine.  See  Journal  Asiatique,  December, 
1869,  p.  420,  beginning  at  the  words  :  "  The  series  of  doctors 


ceased  in  the  year  1003  of  the  Hijra.  After  them  there  were 
the  priests."  The  Chronicle  does  not  correspond  exactly 
either  with  Xeubauer,  Adler  or  Abu'l  Fath.  Folio  3b 
begins,  "  This  is  the  account  how  Moses,  the  prophet,  on  whom 
be  peace,  sent  Joshua,  and  the  ten  men,  whom  he  sent  ta 
spy  out  the  land,  and  they  returned  to  him  after  forty  days  in 
peace,  and  when  he  sent  them  ..."  Henceforward  the 
language  is  Arabic  only.  This  Chronicle  seems  to  be  a 
variant  of  the  text  of  Juynboll. 

The  envelope  of  the  manuscript  contains  various  notes  in 
Miss  Frere's  hand-writing: — "N.B.  The  Joshua  mentioned 
as  number  26  in  Mr.  Barton's  list  is  said  to  contain  150 
pages.  This  copy  has  108  pages."  It  is  apparently  a  copy 
of  the  original  which  was  copied  for  Dr.  Gaster.  This  MS. 
is  about  50  years  old. 

16.  Samaritan  Book  of  Joshua,  Hebrew  in  Samaritan 
characters,  size  8  x  5j  inches,  pp.  96  and  3  blanks,  paper^ 
modern.  Bought  at  Xablus  in  1908,  five  chapters  are  said 
to  be  wanting.  Folio  lb  begins, ''  This  is  the  Sefer  hay-Yamim 
in  which  there  are  found  the  Chronicles  from  the  time  of  the 
coming  of  Joshua  the  Son  of  Nun  to  the  land  of  Canaan  until 
this  day." 

The  last  section  begins  thus,  "  I  Abisa'  the  son  of  Pinl.ias 
the  son  of  El'azar,  the  son  of  Aaron  the  priest,  .  .  .  have 
written  this  Holy  Book  at  the  door  of  the  Tent  of  Meeting 
on  Mount  Geri/.im,  the  House  of  God,  in  the  thirteenth  year 
of  the  settlement  of  the  children  of  Israel  in  the  land  of 
Canaan  ..."  The  colophon  states : — "  I  have  written  this 
book  of  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun  .  .  .  Amram,  the  son  of 
Isaac,  the  son  of  Amram,  the  son  of  Salama,  the  son  of 
Tabia,  the  priest,  the  Levite  ...  at  Shechem."  The  date 
is  given  in  Arabic  as  the  ninth  of  Muharam,  in  the  year  1315 
(A.H.)=llth  June,  1897.     See  No.  41. 


17.  Targum  to  Genesis,  in  Samaritan  characters,  said  to  be 
by  "  Zadok,"  size  7  x  4h  inches,  fF.  163  (4  blanks),  paper, 
modern.  Bought  from  two  sons  of  Isaac  at  Nablus  in  May, 
1908.  Colophon  on  f.  159a,  gives  the  date  as  1322  (a.h.) 
(=1904  A.D.)  and  the  scribe's  name  as  Tabia,  the  son  of 
Pintaas,  son  of  Isaac,  the  son  of  Salama. 

18.  Arabic  Chronicle  and  other  matter,  size  9  by  7  inches, 
pp.  709,  paper,  modern.  Bought  in  Nablus  in  1908.  This 
Chronicle  is  said  to  be  the  "  Four  Histories  "  of  Abu'l  Fath, 
but  it  does  not  correspond  exactly  with  Wilmar's  text.  Page 
1  begins  "  An  account  of  the  death  of  our  lord,  the  Mighty 
Prophet,  Moses  the  son  of  Amram,  upon  whom  be  the  noblest 
peace."  The  History  then  begins  at  the  year  2394.  Page  671 
contains  the  Tolida,  Arabic  and  Samaritan  in  parallel  columns. 
This,  together  with  other  matter,  continues  to  p.  706. 

Page  707  contains  the  Samaritan  Creed  in  Arabic  and 
Samaritan,  headed  thus,  "  The  Creeds  of  the  Samaritans 
are  as  follows  :  "  Then  follow  the  thirteen  Articles  of  Faith  of 
Maimonides. 

Articles  1  and  2  correspond  exactly  with  the  same  articles 
of  Maimonides.  The  language  is  Hebrew  in  Samaritan 
character.     Article  3  has  the  variant  "l^£;  for  =]11 

Articles  4  and  5  correspond  exactly  with  Maimonides. 

Article  6  substitutes  "Moses"  for  "the  Prophets." 

Articles  7,  8  and  9  are  substantially  the  same  as  in  the 
Jewish  recension. 

Article  10  omits  the  quotation  at  the  end. 

Article  11  runs  thus:  "I  believe  with  a  perfect  faith  that 
Mount  Gerizim,  the  House  of  God,  is  the  chosen  place." 

Article  12  corresponds  to  article  11  of  Maimonides. 

Article  13  corresponds  to  article  12,  but  is  differently 
worded.  "  I  believe  with  a  perfect  faith  in  the  coming  of 
Tahaba  (Arabic  Taeb)." 


Article  14  corresponds  to  article  13  of  Maimonides. 
The  last  leaf  contains  a  poetic  hymn. 

19.  Sefer  ham-^Iolad,  Hebrew  and  Samaritan  in  Samaritan

Abraham  Ergas,  deceased,  of  Livorno  (Leghorn)  on  Wednes- 
day, 15th  of  Adar,  5455  A.M.  (  =  1695  A.D.)  (It  is  curious 
that  no  reference  is  made  to  the  proximity  of  Purim.)  The 
bride  was  married  from  her  brother's  house.

Marriage  Deed.  Registrado  io  vegliante  (in?)  Libro  de

Moise  Isreal  Enriquez  Cancl.  da  (St.  Casa  de  corso  de  ?) 
Livorno.     Parchment,  size  30  x  22  inches. 

The  Deed  is  illuminated,  the  following  subjects  being 
depicted  :  The  upper  third  of  the  Deed,  above  the  border, 
has  in  its  centre  an  idealised  picture  of  Jerusalem  with  the 
verse  "  I  will  surely  make  Jerusalem  the  summit  of  my  joy." 


15 

The  city  wall  is  inscribed  "  With  wisdom  he  buildeth  the 
house."  The  object  of  this  emblem  is  to  remind  the  bride 
and  Bridegroom,  in  the  "Summit  of  their  joy,"  of  the 
destruction  of  the  Temple. 

The  surrounding  pictures  represent  scenes  out  of  Psalm 
cxxviii.  Above  the  Temple  is  the  text  "  Happy  is  he  that 
feareth  the  Lord  "  with  a  picture  of  a  parent  taking  a  child  to 
school.  On  the  right  is  "  If  thou  eat  the  fruit  of  thy  hands," 
(picture  of  a  man  sowing).  Below  this  is  "Thy  wife  is  like 
a  fruitful  vine,"  (picture  of  a  wife  and  a  vine).  Below 
the  Temple,  "  Thy  sons  like  olive  branches  around  thy  table  " 
(Father  and  Mother  and  three  children  round  a  table).  On 
the  left  of  the  Temple,  "  Behold  this  is  a  man  blessed  " 
(picture  of  a  man  in  prosperity).  Above  this,  "  And  thou 
shalt  see  thy  grandchildren,"  (picture  of  three  generations). 

The  other  emblems  are  the  vine  with  a  motto  "  The  vine  of 
the  Lord  of  Hosts  is  the  house  of  Israel  "  and  two  cocks, 
the  symbol  of  fertility. 

The  decoration  of  the  border  has  the  following  motives  : — 
(a.)  The  signs  of  the  Zodiac,  (b.)  The  Twelve  Tribes,  to 
each  of  which,  one  of  the  signs  is  equated,  (c.)  Quotations 
from  the  Song  of  Songs  and  other  parts  of  the  Scriptures. 

The  top  of  the  border  beginning  at  the  left  contains  seven 
sketches:  (1.)  Contains  us  a  motto  the  end  of  Cant.  vii.  ;} 
with  a  picture  of  a  field  of  wheat.  (2.)  The  sign  of  the  Twins 
and  the  banner  of  Zebulon  ("Zcbulon  shall  dwell  by  the 
harbour  of  the  sea,  and  shall  be  for  a  haven  of  ships  "  Gen. 
xlix.  13).  (3.)  "And  ye  shall  draw  water  in  joy  from  the 
fountains  of  Salvation  "  Is.  xii.  3.  (4.)  The  sign  of  the  Bull 
and  the  standard  of  Judah.  ("Judah  is  a  lion's  whelp" 
Gen.  xlix.  9.)  (.5.)  "And  the  Spirit  of  God  brooded  over 
the  face  of  the  waters."  (G.)  The  sign  of  the  Lamb  and  the 
banner  of  Issachar.      (7.)  "  Thy  palate   is  like  goodly  wine. 


16 

my  beloved  walketh  uprightly."    The  picture  is  evidently  a 
jocular  representation  of  the  lover  walking  "  uprightly." 

The  right  hand  border  contains  five  sketches  starting  from 
the  top  :  (1.)  The  Sign  of  the  Fishes  and  the  Standard  of 
Dan,  with  a  picture  of  the  Judge's  table  and  a  symbol  of 
light  and  darkness  ("Dan  shall  judge  his  people  "  Gen.  xlix. 
16),  (2.)  "Look  not  askance  upon  me  because  I  am  black." 
Canticles  i.  6.  The  picture  represents  a  lady  looking  angrily 
at  the  picture  of  the  Bride.  (3.)  The  sign  of  the  Bucket  and 
the  standard  of  Reuben.  The  picture  represents  Reuben 
finding  the  mandrakes.  (4.)  The  sketch  represents  a  Trou- 
bador  and  the  motto  is  from  Canticles  ii.  14.  "0  my  dove 
in  the  clefts  of  the  rock  cause  me  to  hear  thy  voice  for 
it  is  sweet."  (5.)  The  sign  of  the  Kid  and  the  standard  of 
Simeon,  possibly  the  town  represents  Shechem,  see  Gen.  xxxiv. 

The  bottom  of  the  border  has  seven  sketches,  beginning 
from  the  right  :  (1.)  The  motto  is  from  Canticles  ii.  11,  "  For 
behold  the  winter  is  over,  the  rain  hath  passed."  The  picture 
is  difficult  to  explain.  (2.)  The  sign  of  the  Archer  (Centaur) 
and  the  standard  of  Menasseh.  The  picture  represents  a 
unicorn  "  His  horns  are  the  horns  of  a  unicorn  .  .  .  and  these 
are  the  thousands  of  Menasseh  "  (Deut.  xxxiii.  17).  (3.)  This 
represents  Deut.  xxxiii.  2.  "  The  Fire  of  the  Law."  The 
picture  shows  the  two  tablets  of  the  Law  descending  in  the 
flames.  (4.)  The  sign  of  the  Scorpion  and  standard  of 
Ephraim,  with  the  ox,  which  is  the  sign  of  Joseph,  see  Deut. 
xxxiii.  17.  (5)  "  And  Lsaac  sowed  .  .  .  and  reaped  one 
hundred  measures."  Gen.  xxvi.  12.  (6)  The  sign  of  the  Scales 
and  the  standard  of  Benjamin,  "the  tearing  wolf"  Gen.  xlix. 
27.  (7.)  "The  time  of  the  singing  of  birds  hath  come," 
Canticles  ii.  12. 

The  left  border  contains  five  sketches,  starting  from  the 
bottom  :  (1.)    The  sign  of  the  Lion    and   the  standard    of 


17 

Asher  "Whose  bread  is  fat"  Gen.  xlix.  20,  Deut.  xxxiii,  24 
The  picture  represents  an  olive  tree.  (2.)  "  His  left  hand  is 
under  my  head  and  his  right  hand  doth  embrace  me " 
Canticles  viii.  3.  (3.)  The  Sign  of  the  Virgin,  and  the 
standard  of  Dan.  The  picture  represents  a  basilisk,  which  is 
connected  with  Dan  in  Gen.  xlix.  17.  (4.)  ''As  the  apple 
tree  among  the  trees  of  the  forest,  so  is  my  beloved  among 
young  men ;  in  his  shadow  I  sat  down  "  Canticles  ii.  3.  (.3.) 
The  sign  of  the  Crab  and  the  standard  of  Xaftali,  "  A  hind 
let  loose"  Gen.  xlix.  21. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  there  is  no  standard  of  Gad,  but  the 
standard  of  Dan  occurs  twice. 

The  Deed  itself  runs  thus — 

On  the  fourth  day  of  the  week,  the  loth  of  the  month  of 
Adar,  the  year  5455  from  the  creation  of  the  world,  according 
to  the  era  by  which  we  count,  here,  at  Livorno,  may  the 
Almighty  establish  it.  Amen,  a  city  situated  on  the  shore  of 
the  sea  and  by  the  waters  of  wells  and  fountains,  whereas 
the  excellent  and  esteemed  bridegroom,  the  worthy  Aaron, 
the  son  of  the  excellent  and  exalted  and  aged  Abraham 
Bocarra,  may  the  Almighty  preserve  him  and  redeem  him, 
hath  said  to  the  Bride  the  Virgin  Donna  Rachel,  the  daughter 
of  the  late  distinguished  and  learned  Abraham  Ergas,  may 
his  repose  be  in  Eden,  ''  Be  thou  my  wife  according  to  the 
Law  of  Moses  and  Israel  and  I,  with  the  help  of  heaven, 
will  work  for  thee,  honour  thee,  feed  thee,  sustain  thee, 
nurture  thee,  and  clothe  thee,  after  the  manner  of  Jewish 
husbands  that  work  for  their  wives,  honour  them,  feed  them, 
Bustain  them,  nurture  them  and  clothe  them,  in  truth  ..." 
Then  come  the  details  of  the  marriage  gift  and  the  legal 
])ortionH  of  the  document.
